Hi Nigel,  What type of info. are you looking for?  Is it  BMD's/census information?  If so, can you supply names, ages birthplaces, anything that will help.   Or are you looking for info. on any architecture by the Barclay family in Glasgow?

My grandad was Hugh Barclay b-1898 to David and Morag/marion but i have no knowlege of davids brothers and sisters etc-----if there is any other knd of info i would welcome that too

Many Thanks

Hi Nigel, I wonder if this could be part of your family, 1881 census.   Guess it's worth checking out.

   Dwelling:   6 Buckingham St
   Census Place:   Govan, Lanark, Scotland

   Rel:   Head
   Occ:   Architect
Helen BARCLAY   M   44    F   Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
   Rel:   Wife
Agnes BARCLAY   U   18    F   Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
   Rel:   Daur

Possibly son David age 7 is your grandfather Hugh's father.
Of course, it would need more checking to be 100% but it looks a good possibility.

Fantastic, you have them,  as i had Davids parents as Hugh+Helen----do you have access to other census's which would list Hugh with his parents and brothers and sisters

In any case thanks for that

On the 'architect' side of things, have you thought of contacting these people http://www.ahss.org.uk/index.html to see if they can help you to track down any work undertaken by the family? Don't know if they would be able to do this but I am sure it is well worth a try. If they can't help, perhaps thay could direct you to others who can.

i will contact them now, thanks Scotmum
